This week, Dr. Jen is hosting a bit of a birth control bonanza of sorts, if you will! After listening and finding the Viva La Vulva voicemail blown up with questions pertaining to contraception, she decided it was the right time to address each and wrap them into one informative episode. As an OBGYN that’s also active in the critically unwell world of social media, she knows there’s a ton of misinformation out there when it comes to the pill, IUDs, and other forms of birth control, and today, she’s setting the record straight and hitting us with the facts about how they really impact our lives, fertility, and so much more. What's going down: The truth about taking birth control simultaneously without a period and how it impacts fertility A quick history lesson on birth control The birth control blame game and understanding cause and effect Dr. Jen’s advice for taking the natural approach to family planning Minimizing PMDD and PMS and the role IUDs play in doing so Why healthcare providers need to clitorally stop downplaying our symptoms Thank you for continuing the conversation and calling into the Viva la Vulva Voicemail at (503) 893-2016!

This week, instead of answering questions, Dr. Jen has the pleasure of sitting down with a very special guest—none other than the other Dr. Lincoln, a.k.a. her husband, Doug! As a general pediatrician and OBGYN, this dynamic doctor duo met in med school over 20 years ago and have been married for 15, accumulating a combined wealth of knowledge and wisdom to share. The two swap stories, reminiscing about their residency days at the same hospital, and dive straight into the good, the bad, and the ugly of puberty and social media with kids. Plus, Dr. Jen doesn’t shy away from asking her hubby all the hard-hitting questions, like what it’s really like to be married to a content creator, if he’d ever become a TikToker, and how he feels about all of the vaginal memorabilia in their home...the romance is real! What’s going down: What it’s like working with kids from Dr. Doug’s perspective and why Dr. Jen would never want to do his job Dr. Doug’s true thoughts on Dr. Jen’s mission and social media content The intersection of their jobs and the influence it has on children’s healthcare Advice for parents opening the discussion of puberty with their children Teen boys and the surprising battles they struggle with behind closed doors Social media use amongst children and find out why Dr. Doug compares it to opening Pandora’s box Thank you for continuing the conversation and calling into the Viva la Vulva Voicemail at (503) 893-2016!

If you have a vagina, the chances that you’ve experienced a yeast infection are more than likely, and let’s face it, they’re annoying AF (IYKYK). Today, Dr. Jen is answering two burning (no pun intended) questions about yeast infections, addressing what they are, why you get them, how to treat them, and so much more. We also dive into this week’s teachable moment and bust some ridiculous myths along the way. Don’t miss it! What's going down: What yeast infections are exactly, and what is the most common strain Common symptoms associated with a yeast infection, the ideal diagnosis, and why self-diagnosis isn’t ideal The difference between an uncomplicated and complicated yeast infection and treatment options for each Boric acid: what it is, the dangers of using it incorrectly, and best practices for usage Why using natural remedies to treat a yeast infection isn’t always in your best interest The down low on douching, which vaginal cleansers to avoid, and what’s actually safe to use down there Antibiotics and why you shouldn’t jump to conclusions about causing yeast infections Why the jury is still out on whether probiotics help prevent yeast infections and which ones to use if you do decide to take them Clitorally cannot believe this was a real ad.
